Scrappy bindings are so much fun. I do a lot of donation quilts for kids and do scrappy bindings often. If you join on the diagonal and press your binding seams open before folding I think you will find there is very little bulk. I have had the seam turn up on the corner often and it really doesn’t matter. And yes, I’m picky about how the binding looks.
